You already know that the Ernrst Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, FL is one of my least favorite house museums. So you won't be surprised that the Dec 23, 2012 NY Times article on the home has not stirred me to action.
The article recounts a nine year losing battle with the U.S. Department of Agiculture over the right to regulate the cats under the Animal Welfare Act. While it did conjure up some wild images of under cover agents observing and surreptitously photographing the cats, I'm not inclined to view the museum as a simple house museum forced to run through a bureaucratical maze. My impression of it stands : a well run tourist business with it's bottom line well highlighted.
Yet the article does have some great pictures of the house and the cats who live there.
